Think about how a favorite story or character became well known. Entertainment trivia can open a conversation about what different people enjoy and which references they recognize. For preteens, a quiz can be a starting point for further questions. Use an unfamiliar answer as a reason to check a map, book, or reliable reference.

Ask someone else which answer they knew first. Different tastes and generations can make the same round feel quite different. The sample questions above give you a quick look at the subject before you start. You can also take a different category quiz if another interest catches your eye.
